LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)-Andre Onana, the Cameroonian international’s dribbling and passing skills might help the Red Devils, and he was a key component of Ten Hag’s Ajax’s success.
One of the finest goalkeepers in Manchester United history and a devoted employee, David de Gea’s tenure at Old Trafford is coming to an end after a season filled with gaffes.
The Spaniard has done the club well, and in their lowest points, he has frequently been their hero, a goal-saving machine who has kept the team from sinking much lower.
Meanwhile, when United moved toward the future during the previous campaign under the visionary Erik ten Hag, it became increasingly obvious that De Gea’s skill set was anchored in the past and was preventing the team from moving forward.
The goalkeeper’s ability to stop shots came under heightened scrutiny after allowing a number of cheap goals, but his failure to play out from the back and support United in keeping possession was of more concern.

With teams like Brentford, Newcastle, Sevilla, and Manchester City pushing him high and either causing him to make mistakes or inciting him to launch the ball far, either into the stands or to the feet of opponents, the Spaniard became an easy target.
However, a week after De Gea habitually handed the ball over to City in the FA Cup final loss and was unable to stop Ilkay Gundogan from scoring the game-winning goal, United saw the future right in front of them.
Andre Onana of Inter, the goalie, demonstrated masterful ball management and distribution in the Champions League championship game against City.
And if United want to continue the positive momentum started by Ten Hag, they must go all-out and sign the Cameroon No. 1.
